✦ Synopsis
Electrospray spectra of various bile acids and other surfactants were obtained using an ion trap instrument. Bile acids and bile acid derivatives such as 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) self associate to form micelles in a stepwise process. Their spectra show a distinct pattern of aggregation, with ions evenly separated in the m/z space. A new parameter, n/z, can be used to characterize such ions, where n is the number of molecules and z is the charge of the aggregate. The values of z were determined using multi-stage mass spectrometry (MS(n)) and high resolution in the ion trap.
